Finally a Job!

Hi there from the Harneys!
For many months now, we have been praying for the Lord to provide me with a job. Since camp season ended last summer and the public school substituting ended in September, I started looking for a job. I really felt the Lord leading me in the way of youth ministry and had a really great opportunity to be a youth pastor at a church in Kentucky. But shortly after visiting the church we received a call saying that now wasn't the right time. So with that I kept pursuing work in the area. I tried to get jobs at grocery stores, banks, and gas stations but it seemed that wherever I went the door was being closed. It finally dawned on me to "enroll" in the ministry placement from Northland Baptist Bible College, and through that I received names of several churches that were in need of a youth pastor. I contacted them upon receiving the information, but never really heard anything back. Finally, as the new year started to pass by, I was burdened to do whatever I could to seek the job God wanted. So I asked for the list of schools in the country needing teachers and started to contact them. Within just a few days of contacting schools, one school kept contacting me and was showing some interest in having me teach at their school. Within a week of being contacted we made a trip down to see both the school and the church. After seeing the church and through much prayer, we knew that this is where the Lord was leading us. The school actually didn't just want me to teach, but they were also very intersted in having Heidi teach in their K-5 department.
And so that is where we are now. After a month of getting things ready to leave our home in Indiana, we packed up our bags and headed to South Carolina to teach at Easley Christian School. We are really excited about the ministry that the Lord has given us. We are looking forward to the coming school year with much anticipation of how God is going to use us. Our school has a policy to allow unsaved children into the elementary area where both of us will be teaching, so there is a great opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus with our students. Please pray with us that we may see many come to know Him as a result of being in our classrooms. I have an especially great opportunity as I prepare the students in the 6th grade for Junior High and High School where they must give testimony of salvation before being allowed into the school.
Well, that does it for our first update. Please keep us in your prayers, and do stay in touch.

This was right before we left our old apartment in Indiana.
